Don't hold your breath on that one! With the Henkei! version being exclusive to a store in Japan and the '07 Botcon version Stateside I would be VERY surprised to see a Universe 2.0 TC hit retail.

Galvatron was a bad choice if you haven't bought a TF in quite awhile. You should've picked up Sunstreaker or Acid Storm...those molds hold up MUCH better than Galvatron.

Yeah, I knew about the Botcon version so I figured I'll never see it. (Too bad this isn't like Star Wars where if I wait a few years, it'll be at Wal-Mart

)

Wal-Mart Market St. had two cases of vehicles, one set seemed to be damaged, all of the packages were poor. The other set seemed fine.

Cary Target (Crossroads) had remnants of Wave 8 and 9 cases, some vehicles and some DVDs. I managed to get a Python Officer, and CG. No "Large" vehicles yet. The Cary TRU has been reset, no new 5packs but tons of old 5 packs. Friday, they had a bunch of Wave9, Sunday they had 1 CC left.

I visited TRU, Target, and Wal-Mart in Durham and didn't see any wave 5 comic packs. There were a few recarded Wild Bills and Torpedos at Target, so it looks like wave 9 came and went quickly there.

No sign yet of any stores in Raleigh having the Rattler or Conquest.

Nothing new to report around my area...Johnston Co. sucks in just about every area including toys.

BTW, I'm in search of a rocket for the 25th Anniv. Major Bludd. His backpack is short one and it looks odd. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

TRU in wilmington has tons of Hawks, Ninja Ku, barbecue, Bazooka, and tired old crap.

Axelay · 08-27-2008, 05:46 PM

Visited the Wal-Mart and Target in Garner today and found nothing new. I was really hoping that Wal-Mart would have restocked its wave 5 comic packs, but no such luck. I am still hitting up the DPCI for the Rattler and Conquest at every Target I visit, but no hits yet.

MachineGunEtiquette · 08-29-2008, 05:29 PM

ok, took a road trip yesterday, made some stops along the way:
Jacksonville TRU, tons of bats and snow serpents, The walmart had all the new comic packs.
Greenville TRU, K-mart and Walmart are loaded with Tiger Force Flint.

Any extra BATs you might be willing to part with? Let me know.
